So ever since I bought my car I've always had a drainage problem. Never really bothered me until today. Everytime I wash my car or when it rains. There'll always be a puddle of water down where the spare tire sits in the trunk. Does anyone know the drainage system our car uses? Also my car is debadged. So there's holes from the trunk emblem. Then again I had that taped off when I washed my car today and it still had a puddle of water. Any help?

first thing that comes to mind is your car is a post-facelift 97 and it has the pre-facelift two-post spoiler. Take off your trunk plastic and make sure the previous owner covered or sealed the holes.

Hmm.... If I were you, I'd remove everything from the trunk, dry it, then place some dry towels or cloths all around it and rinse the car... That way you'll be able to see where it gets wet and track it further with dry cloths...
